 Trying Too Hard, but Decent Christmas Album.Nov 23, 2004
By J. Martin
"ffej26"
I've always been a fan of Jessica Simpson, and have always thought she was a wonderful singer. However, lately she has gotten in the habit of singing in a breathy child-like voice, riffing way too much, even for her, and not announcing her consanants. She continues this on her new Christmas album. I wish she would just sing these classic Christmas songs they way they were suppose to be sung. I truly believe she has an amazing voice and she would be so much better if she didn't over do everything. On a positive note, she does have some of my favorite Christmas songs on here and they are the strongest songs on the album. She goes all out for O Holy Night, turning in a rich powerful vocal performance. What Child is This is stunning, and Hark the Herald Angels Sing has a gospel choir backing which adds alot to the song. She does sound like shes having fun on such tracks as Let it Snow and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. Her duet with Nick, Baby It's Cold Outside, is OK but nothing memorable. She also does a duet with sister Ashlee, and surprisingly the two's voices blend well together. Finally, there is one song that I've never heard before. Breath of Heaven. It's a beautiful song. I do recommend this for Jessica Simpson fans, but if you're not, then I'de look for something else.

 Not worth the money.Nov 27, 2004
By Lori
I love Christmas Music. I own about 25 different christmas CD's and I am also a big fan of Jessica Simpson. I own two of her albums and was very disappointed in the quality of this CD. she has an amazing voice and doesn't use it. Too many songs are sung in a breathy, little girl voice. She has amazing vocal capabilities why doesn't she use them? I ended up giving it to my niece who gave it back to me because she liked Mariah Carey's Christmas CD better. Can't say I blame her.

Forgettable Christmas album...Nov 28, 2004
By Anna R Harris
"annaharris_227"
Jessica's Christmas album shines on "What Child Is This", "Breath of Heaven", "Let It Snow". But the rest of the traditional Christmas songs are either dull or the beat and/or tempo is changed to make it more "modern". "O Holy Night" and "The Christmas Song" sound very bland in comparison to versions sung by Christina Aguilera and 98 Degrees. Honey, you have a voice...USE IT!! "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is more uptempo compared to the traditional slower version. And it would be nice if Jessica's voice didn't drown Nick's vocals out in "Baby, It's Cold Outside"! You literally can barely even hear him singing!! "The Little Drummer Boy" duet with Ashlee Simpson is also more of an uptemo. It's okay, but I just prefer the version off of the 98 Degrees Christmas album more. The latter is more traditional sounding. The rest of the songs are the usual upbeat holiday songs, such as "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" and "What Christmas Means To Me". I'm not too crazy about them. Overall, I prefer the traditional sound when it comes to my holiday tunes. And Jessica's release just doesn't quite cut it for me! It's so disappointing because I was really looking forward to this album!

Wow Couldnt Believe My Ears!Dec 12, 2004
By Lil Lady
All singers make Christmas CDs and some are really good and some make you think what they were thinking making that! And well, Jessica Simpson falls in that last one! I love the songs she picked but after what I heard I cant get it out of my head! She has an excellent voice but not for Christmas songs! This literally hurt my hears, and I had to turn it off! It is so not what i or anyone would expect from her! This CD is one shortage away from blowing up and i dont mean that in a good way!

 .......She, of all people, released a Christmas album....?Dec 14, 2004
I can't stand mainstream Christmas albums, it is such a worn-out trend and I wish big artists would just stop doing it. Jessica's voice was alright in her first album or two, but at this point she's like losing her voice or something....it's becoming mind-numbingly aggravating to listen to. She painfully warbles her way through the opener, "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow," starting the disc on a sour note to begin with. She can't hit high notes anymore; listening to her embarrassingly strain her voice through the higher notes is just annoying. 'I'll be waaaaaahhhhhhuuuuuuuuaaaahhhrrruum,' she breathily screeches, as hokey-sounding, swing-influenced horn solos fumble along in the background. This is a horrible Christmas album.....and a horrible album period. I do not recommend it at all. If you must get a Christmas album done by a mainstream singer, then may I suggest Christina Aguilera's 'My Kind Of Christmas' or the 'Totally Christmas' compilation?
